RUMOR: Mass Effect 4 to be shown at Spike TV's VGX

http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/06/vgx-preview-fallout-4-mass-effect-4-and-uncharted-4-reveal-exclusives-4220089/

Although most gamers know about E3, and to a lesser degree its European counterpart Gamescom, almost no-one has ever heard of the Spike VGAs. That’s despite them having been going for several years and hosting the debut of major games ranging from Mass Effect 3 to Skyrim and The Last Of Us. After a slight rebranding to VGX this year’s event is due to take place this weekend, and you’ll be surprised at just how important it’s going to be. The reason the VGAs are so obscure is that they’re a US-only TV show that is only shown on American channel Spike and has previously been almost impossible to watch anywhere else in the world. There’s no hands-on previews like E3, just an awards show that nobody cares about interspersed with embarssing c-list celebrity apperances and dozens of brand new trailers – many for games that have never previously been annouced. What logic convinced publishers that such an exclusionist event would be the best place to unveil their new games we can’t imagine, but this year at least we’re promised that it will be easier to watch online. There are various streaming options detalied on the official website but that’s still almost irrelevant because the show doesn’t even start until Saturday at 11pm in the UK, and it goes on for three hours. But don’t worry, we’re willing to suffer sleep deprevation on your behalf and when you wake up on Sunday morning the site should be swimming in news and trailers. Although exactly which ones we can currently only guess at… wrote:

Fallout 4 was also rumored, but that rumored has officially been squashed now.

Interesting. I would love a new Mass Effect game for the PS4/Xbone that would be a new beginning for the franchise. Uncharted 4 gameplay footage is also rumored to be shown.

Tinychat anyone?

Yup. 8 PM EST on Saturday night. I'll be there.

BTW, new The Division gameplay just got leaked. It was to be shown at the VGX Awards.

Saturday night? Wait... THIS Saturday? Ergo... Tomorrow? Or next week?

Man, I'm so confused right now.

Nice. I'll be up for tinychat as well then. 

I just hope they show some gameplay for the new Uncharted. Could you imagine?

If the character's don't all seem plastic and look like manikins, I may be interested.

I'm extremely excited where they will go with the Mass Effect franchise.

Hopefully it won't be a prequel.

That was part of its charm though. Reminded me of an 80s sci-fi.

I want to see a whole new franchise with brand new characters, locations, and hundreds of years down the line. We don't need any more of Commander Shepard fighting off the Reapers. Mass Effect 3's ending was bad as is.

I choose refuse as my Mass Effect 3 ending. I don't know how my story would continue after that. Pretty much every advanced species was killed. I'd prefer games like Mass Effect and Uncharted to stay as trilogies.

I was really hoping for that rumored space naughty dog game.

Don't even post shit like this unless you're sure. I can't have you building my hopes up like this when I can't be positive that they won't be dashed. Goddamn you.

Cry some moar Jackieboy

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BURRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNN!!

*DING DING* ROUND 1!

Well this is awkward.

FUCK EVERYTHING.

 

See this is why I don't post rumors a few hours (or few days even) before an announcement were to be made. Might as well wait and see if it's true or not.

For once, I agree with Mecha. Fuck yourself, Duke. Fuck yourself super duper hard.

Your fault for believing him.

MY HEART IS NOT JUST A GAME Y'ALL CAN PLAY WITH.

Man, the VGX was terrible. Joel McHale and Dorito King made a terrible duo. So cringeworthy. Those black dudes outside were fricking hilarious though.

I honestly couldn't sit through watching the whole VGX. It was God awful. They need to bring the old format back.
